Actually, I've been right here, waiting to press "publish post." Unfortunately, I was unable to even access my blog's dashboard between Thursday morning and yesterday afternoon thanks to some behind-the-scenes drama at Blogger. (Read about it here.)
Because I'm not sure if the folks at Blogger will be able to recover the lost posts (as they have for most other blogs) in the next few days or not, for the time being I'm going refrain from rewriting and republishing them.
As much as I'd like to sit and sulk about all of the above, I don't think that would be the best course of action. (We are just talking about blog posts, after all.) Instead, why don't we get back to geeking out about games?

Screw it. I'm not waiting to see if Blogger can recover my lost posts--I'm going to rewrite and republish them myself. Hopefully they'll be able to recover the comments eventually...
Oh, that's why the feed on Google Reader was different then on the actual blog!
Hey there, Sonic4Fan! Is it back to normal now? I hope so :\
Yeah, I had similar problems at my blog, a bunch of comments suddenly disappeared without a trace. That must be so frustrating to lose entire posts though! Argh!
It seems many people lost drafts, published posts and comments, Sean. Some have been recovered, but not all. Also, the folks at Blogger seem to be working on the recovery effort still, so you may get your comments back eventually.
Two of my drafts have been recovered, but none of the three published posts that were lost. Thankfully, nearly-complete drafts of those lost posts were still on my computer, so I fixed them up and re-posted them this morning. I'd love it if the comments were recovered eventually, too, but I'm not betting on it at this point...
BTW, folks, it seems posting comments is still a bit iffy. I had to try three times before the comment above went through, for instance. Sorry about that. Hopefully the folks at Blogger will get all of these kinks worked out soon!
My sympathies, Bryan! I too lost substantial post. I'm not sure I can be bothered to try rewriting it! I hope you get your stuff back :)
Thanks, Simon! I hope you get your posts back too :)
Yeah...not happy about Blogger right now. Glad you're back, though!
Thanks, Justin! I'm glad to be back, too. Hopefully Blogger will get all of these problems worked out soon.
